Every album release they treat Pearl Jam as irrelevant has-beens and Pearl Jam's music doesn't really fit their demographic, yet for some reason they keep taking the time to review their albums.

So what mundane score will they give Lightning Bolt?

I'm going with 5.7

    I'm going with 2.3 just because it is a random number and they will find a way to pick on songs like Sirens and Sleeping by Myself.

    I'm honestly hoping they give LB a zero because I think it would be hilarious. Pitchfork is so silly... they're ok for new music recommendations but the reviews are extremely masturbatory.

    that's right i remember seeing some of pitchfork's other (non-PJ) albums which i liked a lot and they gave them horrible scores. Probably 6.6 is being way generous :lol:

    Yet, If Pearl Jam collaborated with Animal Collective for Lightning Bolt and it sounded exactly the same, they'd give it an 8.0.

    I think p4k is pretty ridiculous sometimes, but this line of thinking is just silly.

    Do they rate on a 1-10 scale? Then my guess is something around 4.8.

    Edit: Just saw this -

    it deserves a 0.9, and the .9 is for the lame version of sleeping by myself. sorry folks...just admit it.

    what exactly were you expecting? and why are you still listening to it? Annnnnd why didn't you just create a new thread for this instead?
